My favorite result of pi, by far, is this: 4π³+π²+π, which is as follows:


124.02510672119928070190526026841
+
9.8696044010893586188344909998762
=
133.89471112228863932073975126828
+
3.1415926535897932384626433832795
=
137.03630377587843255920239465156

The fine structure constant, α is: http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Images/alphaeq.gif

or

of which the inverse is 137.035999084(51) vs 137.03630377587

Giving the baffling result that the reciprocal of one of the fundamental constants determining the structure of matter itself is merely 0.00030469137 from a formula using only pi and 4, 3, 2, 1.

137 and 29 being the 10th and 33rd primes!

I swear to god you're my 10th grade math teacher

You shouldn't swear, it's not nice.

What if you're a vegetarian and your gf doesn't give head, like me? :/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_Day

Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22, because of the Ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes' first rough approximation of π as being 22/7.

22/7 is actually a closer approximation of π than 3.14 is. Typically, March 14 is more popular for countries using the month/day format and the 22nd of July is more popular for countries using the day/month format.

this is hilarious to read:

[dudeguy]

I believe the bible says it is, thats enough for me.

[Silviya]

In the spirit of the holiday exception should be made, for both?

[Qalbert]

well the recent Lent thread pointed out chicken isn't meat, so eating cock should be ok
and really, cows are incredibly retarded which means they're pretty much vegetables

[Xno Kappa]

Bitches get Feb. 14th. I'll be damned if some mathematical bullshit is going to replace my Mar. 14th Steak and Blowjob day.

[joft]

wait, there are girls who don't give blowjobs?
